In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: s390: pci: Validate AIBV and AISB before pinning guest pages
The AIBV holds one bit per MSI-X vector for a given function. The size of
the bit vector is derived from the NOI and the AIBVO. If the size of the
AIBV exceeds a single page boundary, then reject the request as we cannot
safely pin the guest AIBV.
Similarly reject the request if the AISB address is not 8-byte aligned as
the architecture requires doubleword alignment for the summary bit address.
Since the AISBO can address up to 64 bits, the size of the AISB can only be
8 bytes for the function. This also ensures the AISB doesn't exceed a
single page boundary.
